About Laurent Bakery The Glen
Laurent Bakery The Glen is the Glen Waverley branch of a French bakery with a string of shops across Melbourne, and it works as both a bakery and a sit-down cafe. Takeaway and delivery are on offer, along with dine-in, catering and custom cake orders. They also bake sourdough, including their Levain range, which comes from a starter that's been developing for years.
The pastry cabinet is the main drawcard. Almond croissants are light, flaky and buttery without being too sweet. Customers often mention the almond croissant and pain au chocolat, and visitors praise a Black Forest cake with a tart cherry layer. Cakes are a regular choice for birthdays and special occasions, and locals say they turn up fresh and beautifully made. The coffee is a mixed story: some call it rich and smooth, others find it average, so it's the pastries that pull people in. Soy, oat and almond milk options are available.
The room itself is cosy and relaxed, a comfortable place to catch up with friends over a coffee and something sweet. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
Cakes and tarts sit at the pricier end, though people generally see the quality as justifying it for a treat. There have been occasional comments about portion sizes, bread freshness and service feeling rushed on a quiet morning. If you want a seat without the crowd, it gets very busy on weekend afternoons, so a quieter time of day suits better.
The Glen branch has a free car park, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and takes card and mobile payments. Hours vary through the week, so check before you head in.
